Why when I add properties to my JPG and TIFF files via Windows XP explorer, they don't appear in Catalogue properties report? How to make it work for this? | |||
Jpeg and Tiff images stored on an NTFS volume
(Windows NT, 2000 or XP) can have several metadata sets that are
different kind of metadata. - Windows properties
are accessible via Explorer using right click button and menu
Properties. - IPTC fields are not accessible directly via Windows Explorer but using a program like for example Adobe PhotoShop or an explorer add-on. To create and update IPTC properties we recommend our Kalimages solution. You will be able to use the IPTC editor to add/modify IPTC field values in particular using customized controlled vocabularies (with hierarchy and synonyms). Because IPTC fields are stored
within the image file, they will "navigate" with the file
when you send it. Catalogue lists IPTC fields for images (properties of jpeg files, jpg, tif, tiff files). On Windows systems we recommend to use IPTC metadata for images. Of course for other Windows files Catalogue will list Windows files properties but for images it makes sense to prefer listing IPTC, a standard for who is manipulating graphics. However both Windows and IPTC metadata will be present until files are on NTFS volumes. If you need to transport files with their stream information across the Internet or email you can use Rarissimo software (a WinRar companion add-on) to preserve all information. |
